Large Stegodon Tusk

On offer is an EXTREMELY rare fully mineralized Stegodon tusk from Indonesia, estimated to be between one and two million years old.

The Stegodon was a huge European precursor to our modern-day elephants and had tusks up to 13 feet long. In Indonesia, however, they became a pygmy species, sometimes no larger than a Musk Ox, with tusks to match.

This exceptional fossilized specimen, seventeen inches long and four inches wide, weighing almost ten and a half pounds, is comprised entirely of Aragonite, which has completely replaced the cell structure of the original tusk. It was dug from a cave in Indonesia and professionally prepared by local experts.
